Kokand history

Kokand has existed since at least the 10th century, when it was known as Khavakend and was located on a caravan route between India and China. It was destroyed by the Mongols in the 13th century.

The present city began as a fort in 1732 on the site of another older fortress called Eski-Kurgan. In 1740 it became the capital of an Uzbek khanate (the khanate of Kokand) that reached as far as Qyzylorda to the west and Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, to the northeast. The khanate became independent of the emirate of Bukhara in the middle of the 18th century and flowered in the 1820s and 1830s. Kokand was the major religious center of the Fergana Valley under the khans. At one time it had more than 300 mosques.

In 1876, Kokand was taken by the Russians, who dissolved the khanate of Kokand, while allowing the khanates of Khiva and Bukhara to remain as direct protectorates. In the same year, Kokand became part of Russian Turkistan. From 1917 to 1918, it was the capital of the anti-Bolshevik autonomous government of Turkistan.
